Shipping & Leather Care FAQ

It has recently become much more expensive, and much more burdensome to ship internationally. We’ve found that just listing the actual shipping costs offends people as they think we control the shipping costs, we don’t. So we’ve decided to discontinue international shipping to Canada and the rest of the world for the time being. If you would still love one of our products and understand the costs involved, then please reach out to us via email and we can work something out.

Leather offers a premium look and feel that canvas, vinyl, and plastic simply cannot match. It has a natural warmth, texture, and durability that fits the character of a vintage Westfalia interior rather than looking like an aftermarket add-on.

More importantly, leather performs extremely well for this type of product. It flexes, conforms, and grips items in a way artificial materials do not. Whether you are storing tools, utensils, documents, or small travel essentials, leather has just enough structure to hold its shape while still being forgiving and flexible in use.

Over time, quality leather also develops character instead of just wearing out. Scratches, creases, and patina become part of the product, giving each piece a more personal, lived-in look that matches the spirit of these vans.
